You'll soon be able to officially "dislike" something on Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, said during a townhall meeting on Tuesday that the world's largest social network*is working on building a "dislike" button.
But it's not going to work the same way as the "like" button Facebook has had for years. According to the Wall Street Journal's*Deepa Seetharaman, the company wants it to be like an empathy button, restricting*it to*posts that are sad.
Many Facebook*users have long wanted a dislike button.*Zuckerberg has in the past*said Facebook*has thought about building one, but also ruled it out, saying "I don’t think there needs to be a voting mechanism about whether posts are good or bad," according to TechCrunch.
"I don’t think that’s socially very valuable or good for the community to help people share the important moments in their lives," he said at the time.
